Goose Egg

So Dan Da Man went to his primary care doc, because he has this goose egg on his head and the pressure was getting really uncomfortable. Doc said it was a hematoma, that he had a rogue blood vessel that didn't want to heal and was still bleeding. He sent us to the Neurosurgeon, who sent us directly to the trauma center where he was flown.

They numbed his head up again I think I counted 6 shots, took out the back 3 staples and used a scalpel and cut him open again. They drained 3/4 a cup of puss mixed with blood. Sent him home with 2 really strong antibiotics. Scary infections in his blood we don't need.

They have left the incision open and packed it full of gauze. He will return tomorrow morning to have it removed. But the incision they made won't be stitched or stapled shut....gross huh!


Well, it was a really hard and painful day, definitely a step in the wrong direction as far as healing goes. He did his best to stay in good spirits, even cracked a joke or two for me. My favorite? went something like this.......Does this bandage make my face look fat? Gotta love him.

Thank you Stephanie BTW for getting a sitter for your kids to make a trip to pick up mine. Your a classy Lady, and I love ya.
